Yes they do

Spreading the Bama name across the country
Play ND at Soldier Field
Should have played that FSU game in Orlando not Atlanta

I apologize to sound like an a-hole but we do not play this year

My university attempted to play Bama in a home and home but Bama said no
They didn't even want to play us in Arlington

Bama is viewed as king of the hill by everyone that follows the sport

No. We're Alabama not LSU

No.


Bama got 6.5 million last year, prior to expenses.

I am guessing a big ticket game at B-D is >$100, so figure 10,182,100 in revenue at minimum, just for tickets. The profits are almost the same. The advantage is location and a constant rotation of opponents

I do not think Bama is viewed as the king of the hill

Clemson beat you last year
Ohio State has been more successful
Texas brings in more money
USC, Michigan and ND have a lot more prestige

Are you retarded? Turn down the chance to play in one of the first games in the new Atlanta stadium to play in Orlando?

No. It doesn't even approach the amount of guaranteed money from two OOC season openers.

The average ticket would cost well under $100. The 15k, or however many seats the students get, would bring that average down.

You should pull yourself out of the sand
College Football exists outside of Tuscaloosa

Ohio State has been more successful and definitely more consistent in my lifetime than Alabama
From 1990 to today

Michigan, ND and USC are the truest of the blue bloods in college football. They have huge alumni bases who are very powerful in all walks of life and when they win they become huge Nation wide.

Hey, I'm all for removing the scrub teams that go to the Texas and Music City Bowls. But the SEC office says you've got to play everybody in your division.

But on a real note, we've played every blue blood in the country besides Nebraska in the last 10 years.

I just looked at your individual ticket prices and they would have been very close to $100


Your big games are over $100

So then the premium sections bring it up

Hasn't happen since Penn State

Or even play in a neutral site away from a SEC state



I'd love to pick on Bama but this really doesn't work given that Alabama (USC) and Tennessee (VT) were the only two SEC schools with high quality OOC wins when all was said and done last season.
